Known for its lush and mature landscapes, the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix is famous for its historic homesites and rural atmosphere. As the city of Phoenix grew outward, the Arcadia community became established. Today, many of the large lots on which these homes sit still feature mature landscaping that includes towering grapefruit, orange and lemon trees. For homebuyers seeking an established neighborhood with luxuriant landscaping and generous parcels of land, lush and lovely Arcadia is a highly desirable hot spot.

Nestled in the shadows of Camelback Mountain, the town of Paradise Valley is an elegant island of acre-plus homesites boasting multi-million dollar homes. In 1889, the Rio Verde Canal Company sent three surveyors to help turn this open cattle-grazing land into irrigated farmland. These "Easterners" became so enthralled by the beauty and tranquility of the desert landscape that they named the area "Paradise Valley." In May of 1961, incorporation was granted and the Town of Paradise Valley was established. Since that time, Paradise Valley has become known as a haven for private, relaxed upscale luxury living.
